Re: Fuch Color Availability

["Jouko Haapanen" <joukoh@vtoy.fi>]

Fuchs wheels for Audi (ditto for Porsche) are forged.  Only Zermatt silver
and pearl white from the factory for the street cars, including the Sport
Quattro.  The factory race cars used them in white, both in 15" and 390mm
sizing.

The forged wheels are generally stronger due to the forming process given
equivalent weight wheels.
